Millet-Buckwheat Muffins with Blackcurrants

I developed my Millet-Buckwheat Groat Muffin Breads’ recipe into muffins that are as springy, but have a sweeter taste. Besides banana, the sweetness comes from oat milk and figs – my latest favourites to give sweet taste to bakes.
Until very recently I only used dates, but after discovering the scrumptious characteristics of figs, I decided to stick to those at least for a while. I especially like the crunchy fig seeds that make the consistency so much richer. Moreover, figs are rich in calcium, potassium and iron, and have lower glycemic load than dates. Also, figs contain five times more calcium than dates.

I added blackcurrants to have a sour taste in contrast to the sweetness of figs. Any sour berries can be used, i.e. cherries or red currants.
